Scientology on SCAT???

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

So flipping around on cable (RCN) I once again see an extended programming promoting Dianetics and the Church of Scientology. What's up with this. It creeps me out for all the usual reasons but it would creep me out whatever the evangelist organization was. How does SCAT allow this? I sent them an email but maybe someone here has been involved SCAT? Mostly the SCAT programs are neutral (ok... I have seen some Democracy Now programs). But Scientology? That's a commercial venture (sic church). Yuck.

Can anyone recommend a wedding planner (doesnt havent to be in boston...i live in somerville and wouldnt mind traveling a little bit if worth it) who didnt spend an extrodinarily large amount of money for the wedding? I would like to get price ranges (if you know offhand what you paid), and what sort of style the person had. I know nothing about wedding planning and I dont know when I am supposed to start doing the steps towards the date :)

Thanks so much!

Spare Change News

[ron_newman]

In the Davis Square T station, I often see people, presumably homeless, selling Spare Change News. Sometimes I buy it.

Today, one of them came around to me while I was sitting on a bench, waiting for an inbound train. I gave him $1 -- but then he wouldn't give me the paper. He said it was his last one. I found this annoying, especially since I actually wanted to read two of the articles that I saw on the front page.

Now this guy's got enough trouble in his life, so I don't want to make more by complaining to Spare Change News ... but this just isn't the way to do things.
